'Jaws' shark heads for Academy Museum

The owner of a family-owned business has donated to the upcoming Academy Museum a fibreglass Bruce aka the sole surviving full-scale model of the 1975 shark that appeared in Jaws.

Nathan Aadlen of Aadlen Brothers Auto Wrecking made the gesture as the business prepares to close this month. It resided at the company after years on display at Universal Studios Hollywood. This is the fourth and final version made from the original mould.
